Life is so busy. Everyday seems more hectic than the last. However, when your going (what feels like) 100 mph, looking straight ahead of you, I urge you do try something new.
Slow down and look down. Those little (or not-so-little) people you love with all your heart are waiting. They are racing around, likely dragging behind you and all they want is your attention...your LOVE. So, cherish every single minute you can. I know better than anyone, you never know when that moment is your last.
Take the time to tuck them in their beds and read stories and say bedtime prayers. Please! Take the time to give your children all they really desire from you...your time.
When you're driving in your car, take the time to look around and discuss what you see. The amazing sky is a perfect place to start. Let it give you an opportunity to talk about God and all His creations. Catch up with your kids and see what's happening in their lives. They are important!
Take pictures. In fact, take tons more than you ever think youl'll need. One day, those silly snapshots will just be a memory. When your kids have grown up and moved away, you will be so happy to have them. When your children have children, what fun it will be to compare them! One day, we will not be here and our children will not likely remember what we bought them or how fancy our job title is. What they will remember is laughter and adventure and the things that make family great. They will not remember how amazing it was to get to bed on time or follow a perfectly strict schedule or have the correctly balanced meal 7 days a week. Laughter and LOVE is what they remember best. Give it to them, today!
